Agenda Item 4 Agenda Item 4 PLANNING AND ACCESS COMMITTEE MEETING: Monday 25th May 2020 SUBMITTED BY: Director of Rural Development and Planning APPLICATION NUMBER: 2018/0247/DET and 2018/0248/LBC APPLICANT: Western Ferries LOCATION: Kilmun Pier Construction of overnight berth and crew access, PROPOSAL: and installation of fenders and bollards NATIONAL PARK WARD: Ward 1 (Argyll Forest Peninsula) COMMUNITY COUNCIL AREA: Kilmun Name: Alison Williamson CASE OFFICER: Telephone: 01389 722 610 Email: [email protected] 1. SUMMARY AND REASON FOR PRESENTATION The proposed development is the construction of an improved overnight berth and crew access and the installation of fenders and bollards at Kilmun Pier. Kilmun Pier and the associated buildings are B Listed and both planning permission and listed building consent are required for the proposed development. Given the level of representation (26 representations, 20 made to the planning application and 6 to the listed building consent application) in accordance with the scheme of delegation the planning application requires to be determined by the Planning and Access Committee. This report has been written to cover both the planning and listed building consent applications. It is important to note that, as (by its nature) the pier projects from the land into the waters of Holy Loch, the proposed development at Kilmun Pier is controlled by both terrestrial and marine planning systems. The National Park as the ‘Terrestrial’ Planning Authority is responsible for all land based planning matters down to Mean Low Water Springs. In the intertidal zone, between low and high water springs, terrestrial planning authority overlaps with Marine Scotland’s responsibilities for the marine area. This means that in terms of the proposed development the Park Authority’s jurisdiction for both planning permission and listed building consent ends below the mean low water mark. However, as the proposed development is connected to the land, those parts that are below the mean low water mark but above the level of the water are part of these applications. 1 Agenda Item 4 A Marine Licence is required from Marine Scotland for the development within the marine planning zone. A Marine Licence for the proposed development has been granted by Marine Scotland, however this is entirely separate from the requirements for planning permission and listed building consent. Figure 1: Site plan which shows the location of the proposed structures and identifies Mean High Water springs and Mean Low Water Springs. 2. RECOMMENDATION That Members: 1. APPROVE both the planning and listed building consent applications subject to the conditions set out in Appendix 1 of the report. 2 Agenda Item 4 3. BACKGROUND Site Description Kilmun Pier is located fairly centrally in the linear settlement of Kilmun on the northern shores of Holy Loch. The pier is bounded by the A880 road to the north and Holy Loch to the south. The pier is formed of a masonry block main pier, with a later timber projection, a number of timber buildings on the pier and a pair of parallel stone buildings at the shore end. 2018/0247/DET and 2018/0248/LBC Figure 2: Location plan Kilmun Pier was built c1828 by marine engineer and entrepreneur David Napier to serve a new route from Glasgow to Inveraray via Loch Eck via coach and steamer. The stone portion of the pier was constructed in approximately 1828 with the timber pier being added later in the 19th Century to facilitate the mooring of bigger steamers. 3 Agenda Item 4 Figure 3: Historical Image of Kilmun Pier Kilmun Pier and the associated buildings are B Listed and are of interest due to their connection to the marine engineer and entrepreneur David Napier and the opening of the Clyde to tourist traffic, as well as the survival of the stone buildings. The telephone kiosk adjacent to the shore end buildings is also B listed. The pier is in use by Western Ferries as an overnight berth for their vessels providing a service from Hunters Quay at Dunoon. The service connects Hunter’s Quay to McInroy’s Point in Gourock across the Firth of Clyde connecting Glasgow with the Cowal Peninsula. Western Ferries vessels also moor at Kilmun pier when not needed or during bad weather. As many as 3 vessels can be moored to the pier side by side. The timber buildings on the pier are used by Western Ferries and the stone buildings at the shore end include former public toilets and two holiday cottages. Currently, the vessels berth directly against the timber structure. The spring ropes are moored to the existing bollards installed to the top deck of the pier. Bow and stern ropes are connected to the mooring anchors on the beach. Crew access/egress the vessels to/from the pier via a 6 metre gangway. 4 Agenda Item 4 Figure 4: Photograph of the existing pier from the A880 to the east of the pier. Description of Proposal The proposed development is the construction of an overnight berthing facility off-set from the existing timber pier, including the installation of mooring piles, fenders and bollards and a crew access gangway. A series of five tubular mooring piles fitted with fenders would be installed 6.5 metres from the existing timber pier. The mooring piles would be 7.4 metres from each other, extending a total width of 29.6 metres. The height of the proposed mooring piles would be 7.39 metres from chart datum, that being 2.2 metres higher than the existing timber pier and no more than 1 metre higher than the top of the existing timber piles at the front face of the timber pier which vary in height. The proposed mooring piles would be 1.2m in diameter and would be steel, filled with concrete. 5 Agenda Item 4 Figure 5: Proposed Mooring Piles A crew access gangway is proposed to provide access to/from the existing masonry section of the pier to and from the vessels. The gangway proposed is a steel structure on steel piles/supports comprised of a short landing platform supported on four steel piles, a steel walkway 12 metres in length connecting to a further landing platform, from which a hinged telescopic gangway would span between the fixed platform and a vessel. A support frame is required for the hinged gangway. Figure 6: Section of the proposed development. Two new mooring bollards would be installed on the shoreline to the east and west of the pier. These bollards would be 67cm above existing ground level and would be installed with a concrete foundation, 2 piles and a rock anchor. Mooring ropes would be tied to these bollards to secure the vessels at the pier. 6 Agenda Item 4 A gate is proposed to be installed at the entrance to the crew access gangway from the existing masonry pier for security reasons. The gate would be 2.4 metres in height and would have supporting sections of railings on either side. Planning History The planning and listed building consent applications for the proposed development at Kilmun Pier were submitted in August 2018. Photomontages were requested from the applicant in December 2018 however accurate photomontages were not provided by the applicant until March 2020 resulting in a delay to the determination of the applications. Prior to the current applications for the proposed development, there have been a number of applications at Kilmun pier relating to the erection of two replacement storage huts on the pier and alterations to the shore end buildings which are now used as holiday lets. 4. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT AND HABITAT REGULATIONS ASSESSMENT Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) The National Park is identified as a ‘Sensitive Area’ within the Environmental Impact Assessment (Scotland) Regulations 2017. As a ‘Competent Body’ the National Park Authority has a statutory duty to consider whether proposals for development should be subject to the EIA process. In this instance the proposal falls under Schedule 2 of the regulations within the Infrastructure Projects 10 (g) Construction of harbours and port installations, including fishing harbours. The proposal has been screened and it was considered that it is not likely that there would be significant environmental effects and therefore an EIA was not required. The screening opinion is available to view as part of the application file. Habitat Regulations Assessment (HRA) The Habitats Regulations require that where an authority concludes that a development proposal is likely to have a significant effect on a European site (SPA or SAC) it must undertake an Appropriate Assessment (AA) of its implications for the European site in view of the site’s conservation objectives. In this instance there are no European sites which would be affected by the proposal and therefore a Habitats Regulations Assessment was not required. 5. CONSULTATIONS AND REPRESENTATIONS Responses to Consultations Clyde Port Authority No objections however the applicant will require a Clydeport Works Licence and Notice to Mariners. Marine Scotland Advised that the works proposed below mean high water springs (MHWS) will require a marine licence. 7 Agenda Item 4 SEPA No objections. SEPA consider the proposals to constitute a water compatible use, which have an essential operational need to be located in the coastal floodplain, and therefore have no objection to the proposed development on flood risk grounds. SNH Marine Cetaceans and seals The original documentation submitted with the application described the use of an impact hammer to install the mooring piles and SNH commented that the piling works proposed have the potential to cause injury and disturbance to marine mammals and advised that a European Protected Species (EPS) licence for disturbance would be required. The applicant later advised that the proposed method for installing the mooring piles was to use a drill/core method.

After the passing of the 1877 Prisons (Scotland) Act, the responsibility for the running and financing prisons taken away from local authorities, small local prisons were successively closed in favour of large prisons, such as Glasgow's 1882-built Barlinnie Prison and though Inveraray's jail, the last of the small prisons, was closed on August 31, 1889, courts continued to sit in Inveraray's courthouse until around 1954.4. After an extensive programme of restoration was undertaken by The Scottish Office in the 1980's, the building then lying empty for some years, Inveraray Jail was opened to the public as a 'visitor attraction' in May 1989 and the records of more than 4,000 of its Victorian prisoners put online for the interest of family history researchers.

  • A Walk on the Beach at the Southern Tip of Rosneath Peninsula, Argyll & Bute
    A walk on the beach at the southern tip of Rosneath Peninsula, Argyll & Bute. The air, the water and the land, and sadly, the litter. Tam Ward. 2019. A tiny part of Scotland – with so much to offer. Rosneath Peninsula and Upper Clyde Estuary, The southern tip of Rosneath Peninsula Argyll & Bute 1 The sky was a bland but beautiful shade of pale blue interrupted only by occasional and ever changing clumps of fluffy topped white and grey clouds, constantly modifying themselves into slowly moving and ever changing shapes, of curly topped travellers heading to some unknown destination across the horizons. The airborne islands of pearly white seemed endless in their seemingly mysterious source as the continued their journey – appearing from somewhere – and disappearing to – another place. Gareloch Gareloch and Helensburgh The skyward scene is only occasionally interrupted by the apparently motiveless flight of a bird or flock of them, sometimes alone but on other occasions as a flight of well-meaning direction, especially at some specific spot on the beach where they will swoop down as if with a single mind, perhaps sensing a good spot for lunch, or just taking a chance on one. Further out, especially if the sea is flat, the expert divers of gannet, tern or cormorant will streak down and disappear in a little flash of sparkling water, to erupt again some distance away, and If they were lucky, as they usually are – with their beak held quarry. Now and then a frenzy of such activity by a gang of birds would indicate a hapless shoal of fish had been detected near the surface.

  • Old Castle Lachlan to Kilmun
    Driving Tour between Old Castle Lachlan and Kilmun – connecting the Mausoleums of two historic Highland families, the Maclachlans and the Campbells Old Castle Lachlan – Newton - Strachur – Loch Eck - Benmore Botanic Gardens – Historic Kilmun This picturesque round trip through Argyll’s Cowal peninsula is approximately 50 miles and takes you from Old Castle Lachlan and Kilmorie Chapel on Loch Fyne, to Loch Eck, and ends at Historic Kilmun on Holy Loch near Dunoon. It contains several stopping places worth devoting plenty of time to. We recommend a whole day to see everything with an additional day if you would like to explore the many forestry tracks by mountain bike or on foot. Beginning at Old Castle Lachlan the tour will lead you down the banks of Loch Eck to the resting place of the Clan Campbell chiefs, the Dukes of Argyll, at Kilmun. There are beautiful views of the mountains with picnic stops and Forestry Commission walks along the way. Please remember to drive on the left and take your time on the winding narrow roads. Starting Point: Old Castle Lachlan, Lachlan Bay Old Castle Lachlan The ancient seat of the Maclachlan Clan makes a fine looking ruin and easy walking paths encourage you to explore and enjoy your surroundings. It is a hidden gem on Loch Fyne, standing out on the loch since the 15th Century, once a centre of local life. However, the castle has lain empty since the 17th Clan Chief took sides with Bonnie Price Charlie and died on the battlefield of Culloden in 1746. The current clan chief and his family live in the white 'new' castle you can see on your walk.

  • Izvestia, 24 September 1961 English Translation
    Izvestia, 24 September 1961 English Translation Ding Dong Dollar! Holy Loch, Dunoon, Gourock... There was a time when we associated these places with the poetry of Burns and the novels of Walter Scott. But today in Holy Loch you will find an American base harbouring Polaris nuclear submarines, and American soldiery is promenading, as if they were at home, down the streets of Dunoon and Gourock. But the Scots are a freedom-loving people, and loyal to their glorious historical traditions; they don't wish to make their peace with the American occupation and the prospect of nuclear death. The participants of massive anti-war demonstrations - the simple people of Scotland and England - cannot oppose anything to the might of the army and the police guarding the American bases other than their indignation and contempt, which breathe through the angry and mocking folk songs that have sprung up recently and have achieved wide popularity. We are publishing one of these songs in S. I. Marshak's translation. The song cycle will be published in its entirety in the journal Foreign Literature. ‘Polaris and Dollaris’ (To the tune of the American song ‘She’ll be Coming ‘Round the Mountain’) Will a dollar buy you much if you die! Will a dollar buy you much if you die! All together now: Ding Dong Dollar! Will a dollar buy you much if you disappear yourself in the blast of a bomb! They've brought us Polarises for the war, But the owners of Dunoon are flattered. Our Mary has let her parking space to the Yankee And put on star-spangled trousers, Stock up on more whisky and more gin! Ask as much as you want from a drunk one.
